Euros are looney about our deserts and the Grand Canyon. They have nothing like it in Europe. My elderly neighbors in Kali were German. They constantly hosted friends from Germany and their destinations were Grand canyon, Death Valley, Utah Canyon lands/Zion etc. along with Kali beaches.
Just got back from some of the NP you mentioned. Foreigners everywhere. I was guessing about half. Yellowstone is heavy Asian.
Also, a lot of these fuckers are rude and obnoxious. Cutting in line. Going off trail. Yelling in canyons, not knowing trail etiquette.
So when I hear people, specifically Rick Steves loving whites talk about ugly Americans in Europe and when you go don't wear American stole clothes, blend in, etc I say fuck off. I've been to Europe several times and Americans tend to be the most polite, friendly and respectful tourists there. I think it's just more American bashing self hating white progressives like to engage in.
I spent 40 years traveling the world for work and I came to realize decades ago that there are obnoxious Americans just like there are obnoxious foreigners. There is a difference however. The obnoxious Americans are typically those who have never been anywhere before. With foreigners it the wealthy elites who are rude and obnoxious. If you travel South America or parts of Europe with black friends or co-workers you quickly learn that America is a safe haven for minorities. The rest of the world is horribly racist. All of the South American countries are divided by the wealthy elites and the have nots. There is not much in the middle. The wealthy elites hate America and look down their noses at us. Especially the Jewish elites in places like Colombia, Chile and Venezuela. They enjoy telling you to your face how stupid Americans are. Colombia is full of Jewish elites who control industry. These are people who easily would make the Forbes top 50 richest list but would never let their wealth be known like that. Mexican elites are horribly racist and anti American. The chinese elites are racist as hell but love America. Russian elites hate America and are the most racist people on the planet. There is no more welcoming place on the planet for Americans than a local London pub. German elites and corporate leadership absolutely hate Americans.
Two stories. On a flight from LA to Atlanta. On the aisle to my left is a little old lady. To my right is a pro wrestler name Syd Eudy. Flight was about to shut the door and take off. Last on was a French couple, clearly wealthy just by how they were dressed. There was zero room in the overhead as they were last on. They proceeded to take our luggage out of the overhead and put it in the aisle and replace it with theirs. The old lady started to object and they just ignored her. I am pissed cause my stuff is sitting the aisle so I start to get up and am going to take their shit out and put our stuff back in. The wrestler put his hand on my chest and forced me back into my seat telling us he was going to take care of this. He got in the aisle pissed as hell and yelling at the couple as he was walking towards them. The flight attendants came running and stopped the wrestler. The French couple were obstinate and continually refused to take their luggage out. Finally they came and took the luggage out and took the couple off the flight. As they were leaving they had the gall to look at us and call us ugly Americans.
In the 80's the Japanese owned Hawaii. It was part of my territory so I would go there about 10 times a year and spend the weekend for fun. I would fly women out there in an effort to reveal the meat curtains. This date and I went to the Arizona memorial. There was a boatload of Japanese on the memorial and they were noisy and obnoxious for such a sacred place. Big Texan with the cowboy hat was making comments under his breath. Last straw was when about 20 of them got for a group photo in front of the wall with all of the names of the dead. They were smiling and laughing. The big Texan started wading in throwing hay makers. He had had enough. The Japanese tourists huddled in a corner screaming. Security came and took them off the memorial and threatened the Texan. A couple of veterans stuck up for the guy and nothing happened to him.
First time wife (then girlfriend) traveled to Europe was right after Princess Diana was killed after being chased by paparazzi. We arrived in Paris after spending time in Holland and Belgium- good folks there who loved to talk about “free” health care and “free” this and that. None of them could afford a home, all paid most of their income to the Government and all of them drank like fish.
We spent time going thru the main sites, when you go to the Louvre be prepared for Asians to elbow and push their way in front of you to get a picture. Worse, we stumbled upon the makeshift memorial site where Diane died- mounds of flowers, pix of her both as a Royal and doing all her charity work. Asians everywhere posing in front of the memorial smiling almost gleefully. Gross.
And they always do the ridiculous peace sign thing.
I’ve learned that people are people, no matter where you go. Some are assholes and some are cool. The ratio is the same no matter which country you travel to. Some countries have implemented zero tolerance fighting policies, in the schools, so the assholes never learn to think twice before being an asshole. Exhibit A: Mello and HHusky.

In contrast though, what about the masses of Americans who pose for photos at Bruce Lee's grave? Or Jimi Hendrix's grave? Or Jim Morrison's in Paris?

I live close to the Oakland cemetery here in Atl- you would recognize it by the Confederate cemetery that's on the east side. Bobby Jones is buried there, you can pick out his grave from 50 yards because his site is covered with golf balls (most of the from BendintheRivers's errant drives). Lots of famous Atlantans buried there and folks show respect.
Contrast that with Kobe's wife suing the LAPD for sharing pix of the helicopter crash site.

I agree, but my point is there are people who love to roll with the Ugly American and these people tend to be leftists who hate everything American.

Maybe the difference is Diana's body was still warm. Also, there are graves of certain people I'd piss on.

You POS. I think I still have that video of you whiffing on that tee shot at Stone Mountain. On the golf course I am a shoot 88 God.
Was at that fish restaurant on the other side of the wall from Bobby Jones's grave. I cannot think of the name. Phil Michelson and the great Indian golfer (can't think of his name either) were having dinner together with their families. They left the restaurant and climbed the wall to place golf balls on his grave. The whole restaurant was wondering what they were doing. Some PGA professionals think it is a good luck charm to do that before the Masters. Michelson won a green jacket a week later.

Sid Vicious... was awesome. Had a nasty leg break
Yeah, that was him. Super nice guy. Large, clearly on steroids. Slept 4/5th of the flight but was talkative when awake. I am not a pro wrestler aficionado so I didn't appreciate his greatness in the sport. Sat next to Tara Reid and was shocked how incredible she looked in real life. Her shape was incredible. That one I had a tough time taking my eyes off of. Looks 10x better in person than on screen. Was across the aisle from Angelina Jolie at 6:30 am at JFK to Los Angeles and she looked like shit. Big disappointment. The vial of Billy Bob Thorntons blood around her neck on a necklace was gross. Sat next to June Lockhart and she was a trip. Bernie Toupin was great. On a flight to Mexico City sat next to a great kid. Once in MX you can get on the internet and was skyping my family and the kid next to me wanted to say hello. It was Kanye West and of course I had no idea who he was but my daughter freaked out. Once I landed and was in my hotel i looked him up and was surprised to see he was the guy who jumped on stage and claimed that Taylor Swift didn't deserve her reward. He was the nicest kid. I still don't know a Kanye song.

I sat next to Nikki Sixx once. That's all I got. He was over cologned.
I ran into Keanu Reeves on 5th Avenue. Literally ran into him. He was coming out of Brooks Brothers I was going in. This is years before John Wick so he didn't shoot me in the face 6 times. CSB.

Six Feet Under-
Which coincidentally is how much your driver takes out of the (ladies) tee box.

You're just trying to provoke Stalin.
I need to fix that in the next year
